| Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt | The property contains artists' houses. These are residential houses that were the homes of the artists and other important persons close to the artists' colony, e.g. Olbrich House, Habich House, Small Glückert House, Behrens House. "The Darmstadt colony artists' houses are part of a great tradition of artists' houses, while at the same time pointing beyond this tradition through their creative innovation and programmatic function as part of an exhibition, together with their communal character."
